I think that title still belongs to late model BMW and Audi drivers.

Looking more and more like a CR-V with every update. I sold my SG Forester with 237k miles on it a couple years ago and wonder if I should have hung on to it. I still see it rolling around the neighborhood from time to time, must be well over 250k by now.

That sucks. Major league baseball is making record amounts of money, hand over fist and yet it seems they’ve set up a system that allows it to strong arm players into working for less money than they’re worth. I don’t see how this doesn’t eventually end up in a labor strike or lockout.

Boo hoo. I play for a team that didn’t have a problem spending $300 million a year in payroll, that cashed in on a TV contract that three quarters of Los Angeles can’t even see, that pays me more money than God so I can have my lavish anniversary or wedding. And this guy has the gall to want to play for minimum wage…

They must be the dumbest car thieves on the planet. What’s the point of painting half the car and filling the tanks with diesel? I can’t even start to come up with a halfway rational reason.

Might be the first electric that doesn’t make you look like a total twit.

Bad suspension setup, mismatched tires, bent or damaged wheel, rider error.

Honda did produce a motorcycle engine with variable valve timing, the 6th generation 2002 through 2013 Honda VFR800 VTEC. It had an abrupt stepped power bump when the more aggressive cam profile was engaged at around 6800 rpm, not ideal for a motorcycle leaned over at 45 degrees in a curve so Honda abandoned it and…

One of the arguments made for eliminating net neutrality is certain commercial users like self-driving cars need to have ultra fast ultra reliable access to the net all the time because an interruption would create chaos and endanger the public. Centralized computers will need to know the position of every vehicle on…

Of course you had your car on jackstands, left the jack in place AND rolled the wheel underneath the frame just in case? Better safe than sorry.

Tank slapper. It happens, could be unevenly worn tires, bad suspension setup, hitting the gas a little too hard and letting the front end go light while wrenching the handlebars to one side. Some motorcycles are just more prone to it.

I’d say just don’t be afraid to jump in there and start wrenching on your car. You’ll be more knowledgeable and less likely to get scammed and overcharged by unscrupulous mechanics if you personally know the condition of your car before you take it in. And you might decide to just do the repair yourself.

This is why I liked watching the OBS international feed for a lot of events. Not only do you tend to get less editing and more complete coverage, but it usually had an Aussie or British or Canadian announcer calmly describing the action generally without any homer bias as opposed to a lot of the over the top screaming…

Too funny. My dad had a tan LeSabre Coupe when I was a kid, complete with Landau vinyl top, air conditioning and an 8 track tape player, the height of American luxury. My friend’s dad on the other hand bought a first generation CVCC Honda Civic five speed for half the price. I was always jealous of the Honda and…

Sounds like a dirty snaky car salesman making stuff up to pad the selling price. Kia can’t actually legally dictate a minimum sales price to its dealers. They can threaten not to provide those dealers with cars in the future but frankly if the threat is I’m not going to send you anymore Cadenzas and Fortes then I…

Spoken like someone who’s never actually owned a Subaru.

Anyone who can afford to buy a $50,000 car (you didn’t actually think you were going to pay $35k out the door did you?) doesn’t need a handout from the federal government for what amounts to a luxury good. The federal government doesn’t pay you to buy yachts, Rolex watches and Colnago bicycles does it? BTW the…

Hard to say how much these cars will be worth 25 years from now, probably not going to be collectible. But Subaru might get the last laugh in that a fair few of these 2018’s will probably still be on the road and functioning in 2043. How many other marques can say the same?

Correction: Johnny Cueto’s contract was 6 years $130 million, not 4 years.

Not very green, he’s just creating more space garbage. What if everyone shot a car into space? There would be a great automotive garbage patch orbiting the sun.
